A2 English grammar for teachers
A2 students start to talk about the past and the future, compare things and give simple advice. It is the level where irregular verbs and confusing pairs (will versus going to, must versus have to) begin to appear.
What A2 students can do
- Describe past events and future plans
- Compare people, places and things
- Give and follow simple advice and rules
- Handle everyday situations such as shopping and directions
Teaching priorities
- Teach irregular verbs in themed groups and recycle them.
- Give one clear rule for each confusing pair before contrasting them.
- Move from controlled gap-fill to short personal sentences.
